On the show this time, it’s the hypnotic rhythms and interlaced guitars of veteran New York rockers Luna.

Luna is one of those bands that just sound right when you drop the needle on the record. They’ve been doing it for a long time. The band was started by Dean Wareham in 1991, after he quit the influential alt rock band Galaxie 500. There were a few lineup changes, and some life changes before it settled into the current lineup in 2000 — Dean, bassist Britta Philips, drummer Lee Wall and guitarist Sean Eden. The music would fit in a set with the Velvet Underground, Mercury Rev, and Spacemen 3. Their latest, A Sentimental Education, is available on Double Feature Records and Bandcamp.
Recorded 01/19/2023.
